<p>given the option of either taking a chance and going to a school with a better ranked 2 year program or a sense of security of going to a lesser ranked school with a 4 year program, what would be a more viable option? Are programs easy to get into if you do the courses you need and maintain a decent 3.5 gpa ?</p>

<p>Those factors are less important than each of the school's locations and network opportunities within that location. A school in a large city will (generally) have more options for you even if it is a two year program than a school in rural areas (there are exceptions of course). Which programs are you talking about specifically?</p>
